  Is it VMS? AmigaOS? Something else?

  Yes, it is ignorant, but certainly the excusable kind. :-) I believe it is Acorn RISC OS, which has a seriously bizarre file spec behavior. Makes me happy to have Mac OS' relatively normal behavior. See perlport.pod for some of the gory details.

  Common! what about the most useful place to put Perl!?!

  Except that that is one of the most irresponsible places to put it. A huge security risk.
  
  No program which can accept arbitrary input belongs in a CGI accesible directory.

  I think that's his point. And it would make for a funny option. :-)

  my (most used) perl distribution is in:

  \\fileserver\perl\bin\perl.exe

  but when I start the Cygwin shell is in:

  /usr/bin/perl

  and when I boot under Linux is in:

  /usr/local/bin/perl

  And Perl works like a charm on VMS...
  Makes it much easier to team the beast when
  you come from a Unix background.
  
  Have fun.

  the real executable lives at /usr/bin/perl on my systems, but it's symlinked from lots of places like /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl5 /usr/bin/perl5 /bin/perl /bin/perl5 and probably a few others that I've forgotten about.

  Poor memory can be helped with a simple find / -type l -name perl, albeit it can take quite a while, depending on how big harddrives you have and if they're IDE etc...

    locate is your friend:

    locate -r /perl$

    ( might need `locate -u' first ... but it won't take anywhere near as long as that `find' will )
